Review on Infinity Reference 8632CFX 6x8 2-Way Car Speakers - High-Quality Pair for Immersive Audio Experience by Briceston Criss

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great upgrade for my stock Ford Focus 6x8 speakers

Not much in the box but everything you need: 6 x 8 coaxial speakers with high quality rubber surround and high quality fabric tweeter, self-adhesive foam strip that wraps around the rear edge of the speaker to provide a secure, airtight and soft mount, somewhat confusing spec sheet and installation instructions that appear to cover all 6+ speaker sizes in this range, compactly protected by a styrofoam block. The outer metal flange has all sorts of mounting holes and tabs you might need depending on your car's installation location. For myself I just snapped off 3 or 4 protrusions sticking out from the rim of the speaker as my mount only used holes in the rim itself. The speakers sound great; I was able to get them to sound smooth compared to the factory OEM rears and they sounded ok while the OEM rears sounded muddy. These speakers are also quite sensitive, unlike many others, so even a standard head unit should power them well without an amplifier. There are only two tricks: First, the center tweeters are mounted at a very slight angle to vertical, so make sure you mount both speakers with the tweeter pointing in the same direction. Second, each tweeter has a tiny triangular push button switch that allows it to be boosted by +3dB when the switch is in the "out" position; Make sure the switches on both speakers are set the same.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
